That night, a grand celebration banquet was held in Wenshui County.
Xia Tian allowed the soldiers to stay drunk tonight, but after tonight, no one was allowed to drink without his orders. Those who disobeyed would be punished on the spot.
The soldiers were already filled with admiration for Xia Tian and no longer held any grudges against his identity as a child.?
Some people even spoke up for him. So what if he was a child? Back then, Gan Luo was able to become the prime minister at the age of thirteen. It was not a problem for our Chief Xia to become a general at the age of ten.
There were also people who said that Xia Tian was a martial star who had descended from the heavens and mistakenly entered a child's body. He would definitely become a famous hero in China in the future.
Xia Tian did not mind the praise.
He had used so many methods to win over the hearts of the people. He would only care if everyone did not praise him so much.
Just as the soldiers were enjoying themselves, Xia Tian called Zhang Hu and his four battalion commanders over.
Natasha placed a map on the table and stood respectfully behind Xia Tian.
Zhang Hu and the others were dumbfounded. Didn't they say that they would have a celebration party? Why were they called to look at the map?
"Do you want to stand out?" Xia Tian asked bluntly.
Zhang Hu and the others were even more confused. They nodded.
Zhang Hu said," A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Us uncouth men came out to be soldiers, and all of us want to stand out one day and return home in glory.”
The others nodded in agreement.
"It's good to have this idea, but you'll have to work hard if you want to stand out." Xia Tian smiled. Because the territory is in the hands of others. They won't give it to us. If they want it, they have to snatch it.”
After saying that, he pointed at the three cities closest to Wenshui on the map."Therefore, I decided to attack these three places and expand my territory.”
Zhang Hu and the others were shocked. The three places Xia Tian was referring to were Qingxu, Wencheng, and Fenyang.
These three places were all stationed by the 89th Division of the Suijin Army. They were Yan Laoxi's direct troops.
"Sir, this is Officer Yan's army!”"If we beat them up, we'll be going against Officer Yan!" Zhang Hu said anxiously.”
"What's wrong? Are you scared now?" Xia Tian looked at him from the corner of his eyes.”
"I'm not even afraid of death!" Zhang Hu's face immediately turned red. However, we are in Officer Yan's territory after all. Wouldn't it be the same as rebelling if we openly attack his troops?”
The battalion commander nodded." Moreover, it's a war of resistance now. All of China's muzzles are united against the enemy. Even the national army and the Eighth Route Army have reconciled. If we were to attack our own people now, wouldn't that be…"
"Bang!"
Xia Tian slammed the table and said coldly,""I hit Hu Lei, not anyone else. He was the one who came to find trouble with me first. He was heartless, so don't blame me for being unjust.”
Natasha looked at them coldly." Soldiers obey orders. They will hit whoever their commander says." The commander wants your suggestions, not your opinions. Moreover, the commander didn't forget to bring you to success. Is this how you repay the commander?”
The few of them fell silent. After half a minute, Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and said,"My life belongs to you, sir. Even if you want me to go to a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, I won't blink. I'll fight wherever you say. Even if it's Yan Laoxi, I won't say anything.”
The other Battalion Commanders also expressed their opinions."We will obey the orders of our superior. If anyone below us dares to speak nonsense, we will personally shoot them.”
Xia Tian laughed." That's more like my soldier. What's there to be afraid of?!" It was just a few small counties now. What I wanted was the entire world.”
"Listen up, follow me. Don't be afraid, just do it!"
Xia Tian told them to go back and make their own preparations. An emergency gathering was called at five o'clock at night. The system only gave him two and a half days left.
Early the next morning, a shrill whistle sounded in the barracks.
The soldiers who were still drunk last night quickly jumped out of their beds and gathered in less than two minutes.
Xia Tian stood in front of the troops in a military uniform that was specially made for him and loudly gave the order to fight.
The soldiers were completely devoted to him, and no one had any doubts.
In any case, the soldiers were going to war. It did not matter who they fought. The commander's orders were the most important.
"Act according to my plan!" "Follow me and I'll help all of you rise to prominence," Xia Tian shouted.”
"Long live Officer Xia, long live Officer Xia!”
.....
In Fenyang City, the headquarters of the 89th Division was set up here.
Hu Lei had been holding back his anger the last time he returned in defeat.
They were originally prepared to gather the entire army and charge back to regain their lost face.
However, when he heard that the Japanese had suddenly attacked Wenshui, he immediately cowered.
After the Japanese invaded Shanxi, he had been defeated repeatedly and had developed fear of the Japanese.
Therefore, since the Japanese had gone to attack Wenshui, he naturally had to avoid them. He was afraid that the Japanese would think that he was in cahoots with Wenshui.
However, when he heard that the Japanese had been defeated, Hu Lei was shocked and happy.
He was shocked that the Japanese had been defeated, but he was happy that Xia Tian's troops had suffered heavy losses. He could finally take revenge with his own hands.
Yan Laoxi had sent someone to secretly inform him to get rid of Xia Tian.
Hu Lei suddenly felt confident. If even Officer Yan disliked this kid, then he was definitely dead.
Early in the morning, he informed the troops scattered in the three areas to attack Wenshui in a siege. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Xia Tian's troops had yet to recover and finish them off in one go.
However, his subordinates reported that they had lost contact with the troops in Wen City and Qing Xu. No matter how hard they tried, they could not contact them.
Hu Lei frowned." Continue to contact them. Send someone else to see what they're up to!"”
What he did not know was that the two counties had been surrounded by Xia Tian's troops.
